From Waste to Architecture
Willie Schumann
South Africa
Community architect and environmental activist Kevin Kimwelle from South Africa is demystifying architecture for people with a social cause, who wouldn't be able to afford an architect. He and his team of engineers and volunteers are building community centers, creches, schools and other social structures by entirely relying on local and repurposed industrial materials that he recycles for construction. His idea of a cycle economy expands also to independent energy production through bio gas from human waste.
